TORONTO (CP) -- Pipe bombs, handguns, sawed-off shotguns and a sawed-off rifle were all part of the loot confiscated in a five-month crackdown on gangs and drugs, police said Friday.

Simultaneous raids on seven homes in east-end Toronto and two in nearby Markham, Ont., began early Thursday morning and ended with the arrest of 14 people -- all allegedly affiliated with a gang called 18 Buddha.

"It's a grand day in the crime-fighting business," said Supt. Bill Blair.
